Default HOW TO: get rid of the paint spots on the moonroof ( PICS )

hi all!!!!
i used to live in a community place.. and one day a company asked us to move all the cars from the front of the bulding because then gonna repaint a few things... ok.. we did.. so my moms car and my scion was about 10 cars away from the buliding and because of the wind our cars get painted all over.......... there are billions of little white spots on my moonroof, windshield. etc ( at least my car is silver so u cant see the spots on the chassis but my moms car is red.. and that car looks awful now... it has to be polished ( $350)

so i had the spots on my car for months.. i didnt know how to get rid of them.. i tried nail polish.. etc... but this is what i used succesfuly:

this is all what we need:



1) Comet scratch free cleanser ( its like a powder)
2) whatever kind of glass cleaner
3)Easy erasing pads
4) paper towels
5) a wiper blade ( use your own .. take it off from your car...)

i think u could find everything in any dollarstore..

and here is the results:




before - after

---------------------

first put some liquid on the glass



then put some comet powder on it



scrub it.. i did it hard... and if its getting dry just put some more liquid



and harder... and more... and at the end put some more liquid



at the end put some more liquid just wipe it off with your blade:



its realy easy

Or you can just use window cleaner and a razor. I used to clean windows in newly built homes when I was younger and paint and stucco would get on the windows all the time. It works like a charm.

Why? A razor blade won't harm the glass.

Nice results from your method though.

The much easier cost effective way is to get window cleaner and a real fine steel wool pad. So much easier and hardly any effort.
